Iran announced that it will send a Persian cat into space. The country is known for using animals to test their space equipment - rat, turtles and worms, for example - and for lying about using animals - they said they used a monkey, but the claims were declared untrue after a different monkey was presented after the flight. PETA and other organizations are upset at Iran’s cat plan, saying it’s an archaic, cruel practice. Iran plans to have a human in space by 2020.
